Jenn Bostic and her band will perform in concert July 25 at Columbia Park, as part of the Vox Concert Series.

MARSHFIELD – The Vox Concert Series welcomes Jenn Bostic (full band) for an evening of outdoor music at 6 p.m. Saturday, July 25, at Columbia Park.

The Vox Concert Series, in conjunction with Sunrise Rotary Club, look to combine a passion (music) with a purpose, through the mission of service above self by providing free concerts for the Marshfield community to enjoy while collecting donated food items from the public to refill local food pantries.

Admission is free to all Columbia Park events, but a donation of food for local food pantries is encouraged. Those wishing to attend are encouraged to bring a basket of their favorite snacks and beverages (adult or otherwise) to enjoy during the concert. Guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs if they choose to not use the park benches.

Jenn Bostic's career as a singer and songwriter began when she was 10 years old, in the back seat of her father's car with her older brother on the way to school.

Born in Philadelphia, but raised in Waconia, Minnesota, Jenn grew up singing with her family around the piano. Her father played a variety of instruments, including accordion, while his daughter picked up a love of folk, blues, R&B, soul, show tunes and, eventually, country. A horrific crash that killed her dad, a hobby musician who taught her folk songs, changed her life forever.

"The first time I was able to sit down at the piano and play, I shut my eyes and honestly felt a presence next to me," she explains. "I poured my heart into those first few songs. The only way I could connect and be with my dad was when I played music. And I still feel that way."

"I'm a big dreamer," she admits. "Winning a Grammy is the ultimate goal. I've visualized it happening; next step is making that dream a reality (with a little help from someone who continues watching over her shoulder.)."

"When I play 'Angels,' and people come up to me and tell me a story about losing a loved one, how the song touched them and helped them heal, that means more to me than anything."
